Ryan Mallett

from what i've been reading about him, and after analyzing his stats, he's actually improved his decision making drastically from last year. his completion percentage is up 11 points from last year, that's amazing. he seems like he might be improving in this regard.

the things that worry me about him though is the fact that he is a gunslinger, and the fact that he sucks against good teams, meaning he isn't ready to play against pro talent.

of course, i have seen no film on him at all, so i will be watching his bowl game very very closely to see if he is any good.

scratch that, he played well against SC, LSU, Miss state, and a decent game against Bama minus the 3 picks. he actually seemed to progress as the year went on.

looking at the stats alone, i'm possibly on the mallett wagon.

IMHO,the best comparison to Ryan Mallett would be Kerry Collins.

They both have similar builds (Mallett 6-6, 238) (Collins 6-5, 248) and playing styles(great arms, decent not great athletic ability, and erratic decision making).

Mallett's stats this year aren't bad (30 Td's passing, 4 rushing, 11 interceptions, 5 of those INTS against Bama and LSU in close games).

However, I think the questions about his football I.Q. and overall maturity and intelligence (fair or not) are going to dog him and make him drop in this year's draft.

I think he's a decent prospect, but, a team like Dallas (Jerry Jones is Arkansas alum, plus Romo is coming off injury and has been inconsistant) will surprise some people and draft him, not us. He could sit behind Romo and Kitna and learn the basics while getting coached up by Garrett.

He seems like a project Jerry and Jason Garrett would like to take on. I think we will go in another direction.

the more i look at him the more i like him, that's just me being honest.

FWIW it's worth (not much), Phil Simms says he likes Mallett better than Luck and Newton.

I originally wanted to trade Luck for picks, and get Mallett later on. But as time goes forward, I'm liking Luck more and more. His attitude and work ethic are fantastic. Yet if we trade away the first pick (assuming Luck declares for the draft), Mallett would be my second choice.

Mallett's problems are not physical:eek:
